Taylor says "there is no doubt." I find that to be, well, wrong. As discussed last night, a reading of the transcript leads me to believe that Reid was referencing Alberto Gonzales as "incompetent." Let's review the transcript:

Oh. Dear. God. Let's not, and say we did. After all, we can't trust the word of Senator Reid himself, can we?

We can't even trust a transcription from a tape of the call, and if any of the more intellectually honest members of the Reality Based Community try to point out that words have meaning, they will be accused of failing to demonstrate sufficient socialist ardor.

Incroyable.

Just keep repeating to yourself: even Reid doesn't know what he meant to say.

I am Speaking Truth to Power, and only the awesome rhetorical prowess of Keith Olbermann protects me from a vicious savaging and certain death between the gaping jaws of Barney the White House Terrier.

The desperate spin by the Lefty bloggers goes to show that no matter how far one is gone into BDS, it's still readily apparent that Reid said something stupid, astoundingly stupid, when he called GEN Pace incompetent.
To add to the ridiculousness of the Left's stand on this, Reid claims that he had the cojones to say that to Pace's face. Yeah, right. We are supposed to believe Reid is man enough to attack his own nation's most senior general in a face-to-face confrontation, but is so cowardly that he can't wait to surrender to bunch of islamic fascists 3000 miles from DC? Uh, sure.
Reid's not worthy to empty the bedpan of the most junior soldier or marine at Walter Reed AMC. And he's questioning the competence of the Chair of the JCS.
Puhleeese!

Searchlight Harry's the poster child for incompetence, a fact perfectly reflected in his scurrilous statement about General Pace. After claiming that "the war is lost", what's new? In for a dime, in for a dollar....
